[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1420773, member: 89124"] If you want to do iOS development, then just focus on Objective C for now, although Python (and various other languages) a good to know/learn at some point (and may be easier to a degree); objective C is what you'll need and delaying working on learning it will just make you take that much longer until you can really develop apps (especially when you have to absorb how memory is handled in Obj-C which is somewhat different from other languages regardless of whether or not you use ARC). Good luck with it. With a goal in mind and the dedication to reach it, you should be able to reach your goal! Personally I really enjoy iOS development and Obj-C - it's always fun to be able to create something and see it in action. One tip though - I know people are suggesting to put off the $99 developer account (which is understandable, since $100 for most of us is not cheap) - don't wait until just before you're ready to submit, the developer account is needed to do debugging on a device which you'll need to do prior to submission since things work in the simulator that won't work on an actual device (what comes with Xcode 4 is a simulator, not an emulator :) ) [/QUOTE]
